Evos, please explain

"says who?"

Why else would Evolution require billions of years?

You mean you can't think of any other reasons? how many generations does it take to effect radical change?

"It came by chance + natural selection."

Natural selection only selects and removes bad genes. It does nothing to add them.

Of course it does. How do you think beneficial mutations spread?

Besides, not even our most brilliant scientists can come up with a synthetic version of porpoise skin. So to believe this came by chance is ridiculous.

We can't duplicate something in a lab, so there's no way it could've been produced by nature? I understand the high esteem you must hold out most brilliant scientists in, but don't you think you're giving them a little too much credit?

You've probably had this refuted 15,265 times already, so keep your hands to yourself...

How could it have been refuted 15,265 times when I had not put it onto the refutation table yet?

Because it's the same argument over and over.... You only seem to have the one:

"Tell me how _______________ evolved... You can't? HA! Goddidit!"

No because we aren't emotionally attached to the theory of evolution. It could be disproved tomorrow (presumably by the observation of a 10% dog 90% horse being born or by witnessing a Crocodile springing from a rock - either of those would falsify evolution) and no one is going to be emotionally traumatised by it.

If I were standing on a rock that turned into a crocodile - especially near its jaws - I might be a tad emotionally perterbed.

Lol.
There is always one.

Depends. Radical change in DNA could occur overnight if you ask me, but I don't know much about DNA except it's extremely complicated.

Of course it does. How do you think beneficial mutations spread?

Tell me one example of a beneficial mutation.

Well, if even brilliant scientists can't duplicate life, how could it have been made by chance? That goes against common sense. We don't attribute something complicated to chance, but a designer.

Then how are you making such great pronouncments about what DNA does and does not do?

Of course it does. How do you think beneficial mutations spread?

Tell me one example of a beneficial mutation.

This has already been done countless times.

Natural Selection is not "chance." Natural selection is millions of years of trial and error.
Given that much time, and with survival on the line, don't you think our scientists could come up with something?
Going to tell us what else "we" do?
